Will call Monday morning. Had to cancel this appt once already because I forgot that I had to do something, should have just let my neighbor do it for me.
As much as I love our allergist, and I know he is defintely up to date in research, his failing to me seems to be in environmental allergies. Combined with DS2's issues with testing (he rarely tests positive to anything on skin testing, even the histamine fails to show up most of the time and this is definitely without antihistamines in his body), I'm not even sure this is the best route to go. Our allergist doesn't believe environmental testing is very accurate at this young age. And I haven't done enough research to say if he truly knows what he speaks of.
The other downside is that if we were to consider allergy shots, I cannot do them with the current allergist as he is too far away. But I wanted to do the testing with him and possibly get his thoughts because I really do value his opinion. But we would have to do them with a practice locally that I will never trust for food allergies (per their advice, I think DS1 would be dead) but have high high results for enviros.
I worry about meds and DS2. He has some mental issues with Zyrtec. DH is loathe to go with Allegra for him because he reacted to it oddly. Both of the boys seemed to have inherited DH's sensitivity issues to certain drugs, combined with my drug allergies. But Claritin is not cutting it obviously. I just need a better plan at this point. The truly sedating antihistamine whose name escapes me right now, works but it makes him spacey and tired the next day. But he coughs all night (sheets are washed twice a week, allergy covers, one stuffed animal that is washed with the sheets, bath before bed) and has already had one sinus infection. And we have stinky breath again. He is doing good in regards to daily nasal rinses. He doesn't have asthma (though the constant cough makes me wonder but ped heard no wheezing twice) and he doesn't get croup (unlike DS1 and DD who I hear coughing now) and has only had one bout of strep. He used to be my healthy child...
